Are there any alternative one button startups?

Thanks Yak! That's awesome and I will surely use this method. I love the DIY focus of these projects...I just wish I could find a local source for the relay (I'm in Atlanta). Too bad even Radio Shack doesn't even carry stuff like this anymore.
one question, though...how did you mount the relay in the cab? Is it in a project box? Or some kind of gang box?
Thanks!
AJ

I bought the relay from Newark.

The relay is just mounted in the base and the base is screwed down into a piece of wood along with the outlet box. I mounted the piece of wood on the inside of the cabinet.

Where did you put the diode? I get what it does (like a gateway...current can only go IN the gate), but why?
And, do you really need the EMI filter?
Thanks,
AJ

MCSEforsale, if you have a wal-mart near you they have a phillips smart strip for 20 bucks. That and some wire and an arcade button will turn on that GX260.
I'll buy that MCSE off of you by the way, only if it's for NT4 and you don't reduce it to an MCP.

Sure...you can have the NT4 one.
I can't find it at my local WalMart(s). But, I like the industrial look I'll get with the steel gang boxes, romex and conduit. I want the inside of the cab to be interesting, too. Plus, I love DIY. It makes the projects more interesting. :laugh:
I want anything I can DIY in there and I want it interesting to look at/not messy:
I even learnt Photochop for this project.
Once it's in place in the house and I get more time, I'll be upgrading it to a new PC with more gusto/video and decased. I want it to be displayed when you open the door and lit with a contact switch. It's taking a while, but I really love working on the details.
